A bunch of the skidoo scratches are from broken tunnels so saying winders are only doing well because of low snow is a cheap comment.

Kyster I would whole heartedly recommend max16 for trail riding, I have around 3,000 kms on the full max16 setup this year and it’s a scream instant throttle response way better than stock or powertrail. My son and I both added bill mohr spring in front of skids and remove the transfer bar in...

I just love the comments about going to an 850 doo for reliability, don’t ever ride one of them out of warranty if you think maintaining a winder is problematic. Story around here deep in doo country is $5500 for an engine if it’s trashed, and lots are. The faithful just say it’s all part of the...

Sorry to see Steve go, 600 doo is probably most reliable sled out right now too. I couldnt do it personally because i find 850s feel like smelly tippy mini bikes after riding a tuned winder for 3 years, I get my share of big fast northern Ontario and Quebec riding in so power is more important...

If I run a broken primary spring next week for 2,000 km saddlebag trip will my 850 doo and 900t buddies be able to keep up better? Got kindly lonely looking for off trail spots to play while I waited for them to catch up last year.

Maybe you have a connection with them so your service is good, if i told you my new engine install in waverunner episode i had with them you wouldnt send your worst enemy there. Its so bad i couldnt make up a fictional story that would be worse. Both winders came from elsewhere because of...

We don’t put the big rear torsion spring holders back on until all four bolt holes are installed, u can let them dangle or put a tie on and cut off after skid bolts are in. Makes for less swearing and knuckle injuries

Pretty sure i ran into fuel pump issues even though i didnt test as extensively as you to diagnose. Last spring last trip of season the odd time when i went to accelerate out of a corner i would get a stumble/miss lack of power that would eventually clear out. I chocked it up to northern Ontario...

Not sure how much ski lift you after team blue but my son and I are totally happy with Bill Monroe spring removed transfer rod and TD Max 16 and TD max 17. I run an ice attak so under accceleration it holds skiis well up out of the snow and lifts the skiis instantly with a blip of throttle, way...

We ride hard with some offtrail hard running and havent been able to make the pads on the rear arm put even a scratch on the inner wheels on the back axle. We removed them on advice of big time cat riders we know that have had chassis since they came out. They all remove the whole rod and some...

I only weigh 175 lbs and wear light gear so maybe removing bar completely is too much for a heavy guy but it works really well for me, rode all season last year with it out. Biggest improvement was getting rid of the ridiculous stock center spring. The lighter rate upper part can’t contribute...

Predominately the posts on here are focused on engine and clutch performance. Tuned winders are really dominant in the speed category already. For proof go on doo talk and see how big a deal a 94 octane tune which requires different injectors and new drivers to go 114 mph in 1500 feet is on...

yamaha owners are demanding, this design flaw is maddening and shouldn’t exist for sure. I am not excusing it but the latest poo and doo 850 engines don’t last longer than these axle and bearings and they sell boatloads of them and very few complain. They say it’s all part of the ride man...

Crappy luck for your ride, buddies told us it got crazy rough over to Hearst. Unless something broke in your skid sounds like you may have lost your gas charge in shock? Or at least part of it. You mentioned fresh overhaul on shocks which should have prevented that. Hopefully you can finish ride...

Sidewinder all the way, even discounting outright performance my favourite thing is the effortless relaxed way a turbo sidewinder can go 70 or 80 or more mph on big open trails, no other sled I have ridden comes close. One Quebec or New Brunswick tour on their two lane snow freeways would make...

It was an oversight not inspecting new parts well enough. I gather the cat 600 that the new axle was destined for has a different number of magnets to trigger the speedometer than a sidewinder has. The axle only had two instead of all eight. Pickup must be programmed differently than our 4...

Thanks guys that job will not be nice to check

We just reassembled a sidewinder chaincase and after firing up on stand it is showing a really low Speedo reading. Prob showing 3 to 5 mph instead of 20 to 40 or more track was turning? I looked at sensor it doesn’t appear to have moved? Other posts that symptom seems to be too high of a reading...

With lack of snow we have been doing maintenance rather than riding sadly, I seriously can’t pinpoint what causes such inconsistent wear in these bushings. Just replaced one in a buddies 2017 that was completely sacked out with 8,000 kms running yamalube chaincase which I understood. My 17 stock...

Up here in Canada I have had the best luck finding pennzoil ultra platinum 5w30 and k and n 147 filters. The pennzoil tests really well, comparable to Mikes recommendation and is widely available at Canadian tire and goes on sale for great prices. Our local dealer closed so either have to drive...
